Think Transformers the movie, which has these cars transforming into giant alien robots! Of course, our sofas wouldn't do that, but they transform to give you a seating experience like never before. You don't have to wait for another decade to see an evolution in sofas. It's right here. People have always needed somewhere to sit down and the modern sofas not only provide a comfortable seat they also change to your mood with a touch of a button on your smartphone. There are more interesting features that will probably leave you flabbergasted, so explore some of the handpicked sofas from the new and vast Milan Collection 2018.

1. FREE MOTION by Koinor
Imagine sofas that can give you individual space and also allow you to come closer to your partner when you want to enjoy some good time together. Well, Koinor with its crafted-by-hand and 'made in Germany' tag has made this a possibility. Epos and Edit are the two versions of the free motion concept. These at first glance appear to be normal sofas, but hidden behind the sleekness is the innovative technology filled with surprises and creativity. Thanks to the integrated motor, these seats rotate, move laterally, and come with adjustable headrest and can automatically adjust back and footrest. No wonder it is called the new dimension in seating, lounging, and living. And the best part is that the movement can be controlled via remote control or via Bluetooth or an app. Media station, sound system and led base illumination are optional features. These sofas are available as two or three seaters and in a choice of materials and colours. Designed by Tamara Harty.

3. ARIANNE LOVE by Fama
With technology as the defining feature this year, Fama has added a new feature to the much loved sectional sofa Arianne Love. The sofa comes with its own app, to work for you all the more effortlessly. A click is all it takes to turn a sofa into a bed or to even raise the height of your sofa before or while you sit on it.

4. MOONRISE XL by Fama
The MoonriseXL recliner is for couples who like to enjoy their relax moments together. The reclining system works with a remote control and can be stopped in different positions. This model has two independent adjustable headrests. If you don’t want to fall into temptation, you’d better not try it. Moreover, you will be left puzzled with, is it a small sofa? Or a big chair?

5. INDY by Fama
The chic Indy offers many amazing positions from a sofa to a bed at the touch of a button, and all this without having to get up.

7. IAGO by Natuzzi
Beauty combines with innovation to achieve maximum comfort with the adjustable footrest and headrest, adaptable to your individual needs. The square and linear shapes of Iago combine in perfect harmony with the softness of the padding and give it a pleasantly surprising appearance. The version with the reclining function also has the exclusive Soft Touch mechanism. This lets you change the position of the seat and the backrest simply by sliding a finger on the buttons located between the seat cushion and the armrest to achieve absolute comfort.

There are some furniture pieces whose absence makes the space look mundane just like a missing piece in a puzzle game, and whose presence adds more sophistication and functionality. The sideboard is one such. The sideboard adds to the aesthetic value of the dining room, completing the ensemble with table and chairs. Sideboards are essential - where would you keep your crystal ware, fine china, cutlery, glassware, cooking books and a lamp, or even display a grand meal for your guests?

With the launch of the new Milan Collection 2018, we have the latest straight from the world's biggest design fair. Get ready to be inspired and fall in love.

By Tonin Casa is the bold and chic Tiffany. With a quilted covering, this sideboard is in a Canaletto walnut finish and upholstered in rhombus patterned Ottanio leather. Truly a representation of Made in Italy.

Classic in looks yet modern in function, the AlfRigadin sideboard comes with solid wood oak panels in a finish reminiscent of the traditional ‘rigadin’ pinstripe pattern of Murano handblown glass vases. The unit sits on a lean steel frame and is capped with a marble top.

Lines and geometry embody the striking Maya sideboard by Tonin Casa, with an embossed wood effect in Canaletto walnut. This distinct piece breaks the monotony of anything that is ordinary.

Bridging the gap between classical and modern, the Frame sideboard by Bonaldo is in an irresistible bold metal frame structure that stands in sharp contrast to the wooden panels. Designed by Alain Gilles.

Inspired by the 70s graphics and an object of art, Shade by Bonaldo comes with a metal base and elegant bevelled sides to make its edges less sharp.

Here's a graceful Wai chest of drawers by Mario Mazzer for Bonaldo. The base takes its shape from the joined hand gesture, a sign of respect across the East, and the Thai for welcome. It has a metal base and wooden frame with recessed handles. Together they form a simple and stylish appearance.

Versatile in nature, Honey works as a television stand and sideboard. Standing out with distinguished woodworking is the Canaletto walnut and heat-treated dark oak and glass highlights. This beautiful beehive design by Tonin Casa is brought to life through skilled workmanship.

The new collection is a visual treat in terms of design and structure. These sideboards are worked with different styles, colours, patterns, and finishes in unusual and exciting new ways to complement as well as balance with the existing decor in your room. Along with design and functionality, these pieces are evolved to fit changing decor styles and complement challenging interiors. The most important thing to do when choosing a sideboard is to make sure that it's functional and serves your need.
